Name:
_{Lee, Min-kyu}

Nickname:

_{October 27, 1990}

Age:
₂₅

_Male

---

Sexuality:
_Heterosexual

Occupation:
_{Member of a TV Advertisement Think-Tank}

Room Number:
_TBA

In-depth Appearance:
_{Standing at 5’11 and weighing 170lbs, Leo has a somewhat lanky build. He exercises regularly though, so while he’s on the thin side, he isn’t just skin and bones. His hair is dark and a bit on the long side by male standards, but it is almost always well-kept. He has dark brown eyes as well that appear black in most lighting. As for his wardrobe, it is divided quite evenly between business and casual. When at work, he wears suits and collared shirts, but when out with friends or relaxing at home, he wears t-shirts and jeans. He has no piercings or tattoos, as he prefers to keep his skin clear of any permanent marks. It looks more professional that way, after all.}

Personality:
<sub>Compartmentalized: Leo prefers to keep his work at work and his free time free, so while he has a strong work ethic, he doesn’t let his responsibilities consume his life. Because he puts all of his thoughts in separate boxes, he is also able to prevent discouraging events from ruining his day. He just doesn’t think about them when he doesn’t feel the need to. In a way, this also has a negative effect though. He doesn’t know how to cope with his negative emotions because he ignores them.

Extroverted: Leo loves meeting new and interesting people. It’s the only reason why he goes to bars, since he isn’t much of a drinker. He is a socialite in the truest sense of the word, building relationships with as many people as he can, and maintaining deep, lasting relationships with those he cares most about. He isn’t loud, but he is proud and has quite the sense of humor, which makes him an easy person for others to feel comfortable around.

Optimistic: Leo doesn’t like to let life’s tragedies get him down. He has an infectiously positive attitude that affects almost every aspect of how he lives his life. “Every day has its ups and downs, but the ups are what matter most; Even if today went badly, tomorrow can only be better, right?” Thoughts like these are what drive him to try hard in all of his responsibilities, relationships, and hobbies.

Loyal: While Leo enjoys meeting new people and having casual banter with strangers, he is fiercely loyal of the people who matter most in his life. He gives his all to them, and he’s willing to drop everything (at least, everything he is able to) if they need him. This is a great attribute, especially for his friends, but it causes him problems when conflicts arise between the needs of his friends and the needs of his work.</sub>

Place of Origin:
_{Busan, South Korea}

History:
<sub>Min-kyu was born in South Korea just two years before his parents became naturalized citizens of the United States. They moved to Pennsylvania with him shortly after, and this is where he grew for most of his childhood. In all, he had a fairly uneventful childhood in Pennsylvania. He went to school, made some friends, had the usual teenager angst… Through all of it, though, he developed a strong moral compass and a desire to work hard at whatever he put his mind to. So, when his family moved to New York City (he was seventeen at the time), he was more than ready to take on the competition and make a name for himself.

Min-kyu (now going by his recently acquired nickname, Leo), finished his high school education in the Big Apple and spent the following year shopping his resume around at various advertisement companies. As low/middle-class immigrants, his family didn’t have the money to send him to college, so it was difficult for Leo to find a place that would hire him, but eventually he scored a job at Crossroads Film Inc. The starting pay was low, and he was only given the measly task of holding the boom mic, but it was the stepping stone he needed to get started in the world of advertisement.

Over the next six years, Leo’s combination of hard work and creative ideas won him higher and higher positions in the company. Currently, he is working as part of the Crossroads Film Inc. advertisement think-tank, although he aspires to someday become a director within the company.</sub>

Misc:
_{While the majority of his life was spent in America, Leo can still speak some Korean, and he can read/write Hangul.}

EDIT:
As for relationships... I have none yet. If anyone would like to start off with our characters being friends or acquaintances, just let me know! I think it would make sense for Leo to start off with a couple since he's an outgoing person, but I don't want to just add people at random

@Summer

Lovely character. Accepted.

Is it okay that I put him in Room 509 with Reed? I want at least everyone to have a roommate because drama.

@HushedWhispers For the rooms, could I be in room 508 with Atsuko since it works out with our chars being besties. I want to start working on my post and I think I just will with that in mind. >>

_{HHave no idea how it was chosen.}

@sakurasan

That's fine. I'll update that now.

| In Depth Appearance |
With looks to die for and a smile that can kill, Skye's appearance is very charming of the beholder. Standing about six foot one and weighing about one-hundred and thirty-five pounds, Skye is a very lean and muscular male and doesn't hesitate to show it often. He has hazel green eyes that sparkle and gleam into a crystal, emerald green in the right amount of lighting. Skye has a sun kissed complexion to his skin, as well. Skye has platinum blonde hair that he usually keeps messy and unkempt but most times, he'll actually have it combed and even brushed to perfection. Skye has a tattoo of a rose on the left side of his shoulder, his birth date in Roman Numeral format on his right arm and even a heart with devil horns on his ankle.

| Clothing Style |
Skye's wardrobe could be compared to a runway model's. He tends to wear very casual clothing such as t-shirts with a pair of shorts or jeans. He has about two suits for elegant wear and that's about it. His wardrobe is very color coordinated.

| Personality |

♦ Self Confident ♦ Blunt ♦ Leadership ♦ Flirtatious ♦

Most people would say that Skye is leadership type of person. They would be correct, well, at times. He is very committed to any task that is placed in front of his and will get it done in a timely manner with no excuses. He is a very determined type of person and will stop at absolutely nothing to get ahead of someone else to be on top, making him a little bit fearless as well. He is a social media freak and loves to blog, post videos on YouTube and even upload random pictures on Instagram. Oh, he also likes to Tweet. Though Skye is a goodhearted person, he tends to speak before thinking at times, making cruel comments towards people and sometimes hurting their feelings. He tries not to do that but sometimes, it just slips out. He is a huge flirt and will flirt with almost any guy or girl, gay, straight or bi. It's one of his horrible traits that he is trying to change but can't help it, at times. Overall, Skye is a very good and loyal friend to those that befriend.

| Background |
Skye was born with a silver spoon within his mouth and honestly, loved every second of it. Whatever Skye wanted at the drop of a hat, he got it. If Skye didn't get what he wanted, he threw a slight temper tantrum until he was granted whatever he desired. But that was the young Skye. The Skye that had turned about nine years of age didn't realize that he was a godly offspring until he was feeling something that wasn't exactly his feelings. He didn't know what it was to be honest and ignored it until it happened again. He told his parents about his strange happenings and deemed him as a freak of nature but didn't ship him off to an orphanage, or anything of the sort.

Growing up, Skye taught himself how to hone his abilities but even developed a new one - Mind Control. It's a risky ability that he had learned and even got use to over time. When Skye became of age, his parents sat him down and explained to him exactly what he was - Even though they called him a freak of nature a few years back. He was confused and needed more proof so he set out and did some research. Turns out, he actually is the son of Aphrodite and even found out about Olympus Academy.

Skye told his parents that he was going there and immediately packed his bags and set off to the academy, where he still goes to today. Though, he doesn't live within the area, Skye is always excited when he goes back to Olympus Academy.

| Extra |
I have a lot but I guess, Aphrodite would have to work. :)

Aphrodite loved the day Skye grew up and became a natural beauty. She really loved Skye and flaunted over him many chances that she had got.

Skye loves Aphrodite with all of his heart and knows that the feeling is mutual.

Autumn in New York was one of the best sightings one could see. The different coloration of the trees was really something that one could close their eyes and take in. The weather was pure perfection as it wasn't too hot or too cold but just right and crisp with soft breezes here or there. People aligned the streets, most talking on a cell phone, others talking to their spouse or loved and most trying catch a taxi but failing. But on the corner of Broadway and Time Square lies the Time Squares apartment complex is shown within plain view and the tenants on every single floor, especially the fifth floor are starting to stir. Today was seemingly going to be a great day in the City of New York.

Roxanne had sneaked out of Reed's apartment just about a few minutes ago, clutching her specialized heels with her fingers. She waltzed down the hall a few doors down and made it to the front door of her apartment. She made sure that she was up to par before proceeding on into the apartment, just in case Ryan was up and watching television or doing whatever. Upon entering the apartment, she looked around for Ryan and didn't see him. 'He must be still sleep.' She thought to herself as she went back into her room and threw her heels off somewhere, letting out a sigh.

She enjoyed last night with Reed, not much talking, drinking liquor and watching movies. Roxanne closed her room door and leaned upon with her back. She needed to get herself together before work and plus, she needed to get some rest but that was out the window because she had to be at work within the hour. 'Great.' She thought to herself again as she left her room and started the shower within the bathroom and jumped right on in after undressing. The hot water hitting her bones and soothing them was exactly what she needed right about now.

After a few minutes of showering, she got out with the scent of Apple Cinnamon swirling in the air. She got herself ready and dressed in her uniform as she waltzed into the kitchen and prepared a small breakfast for Ryan whenever was to wake up but seems like he was already up. She walked over to his room and opened up the door without knocking, god only knows what could've walked into. "Hey. I am leaving for work. I cooked a small breakfast for you but you should come by and hear Zay sing this afternoon." She said with a smile afterwards. A smile that would basically make Ryan say yes.

When Ryan was to answer her with an answer, she walked out of his room and closed the door back while walking out of the door and heading towards work. She was hoping to bump into Liam again but that didn't happen and thank god she didn't see Reed or else, that would be weird and she didn't need that before work. Upon getting on the elevator of the apartment complex, she went to tie her hair up in a ponytail with her hair scrunchie but noticed that it wasn't in her purse. Roxanne cursed under her breath as she must've left at Reed's place. She debated on texting him but decided against it as she didn't need those feels right about now.

Upon walking into the lobby, she greeted the front desk clerk with a head nod then proceeded to walk through the double doors that slid open for her and she was finally outside. Breathing in the Autumn air and exhaling it, she smiled then proceeded her walk to work, which wasn't a really a far distance from where she lived. She wondered to herself if Zay was still performing this afternoon at the cafe as Roxie had it posted on the windows of the cafe and even posted at least five of them on a board within the lobby.

She supported Zay with her career and was always wondering if she was going to exceed further with it other than performing at a cafe in New York but then again, Zay asks Roxanne the same thing. Roxanne has a passion for singing but didn't quite believe in herself as Zay did. Though when it came to fashion, she was on point with it and definitely would love a career in that aspect. But she stopped thinking about it as she walked into Village Coffee now, being greeted by her usual customers and even her co-workers. While sitting her belongings down, she pulled out her cell phone to send out a few texts.

To: Zay :D
Hey, girl! Your still performing this afternoon right? If so, where are you?! :(

To: ♥ Ryan ♥
Better not forget about this afternoon! :P

To: Reed
Hi.

To: Archer :)
I might need some intellectual advice later on.

She bit her bottom lip after sending out that message to Reed, one that she wishes she could take back. Roxanne snapped out of it then went to the front and started taking care of the afternoon customers that had walked in. A soft smile formed among the curves of her lips as she helped customers, handed them their coffees, teas and whatever dessert they desired. After going through the rush, she wiped down the counter and a few tables then went to lean on the counter, looking down at her phone while waiting for people to text her back.

A GOT-esque style roleplay, world building, big old fun time.

I didn't receive the mention. :(
